Come into the Circle of Her this Spring and Summer with Tammy Kanat.

The acclaimed fibre artist’s most ambitious body of work to date, Circle of Her explores female archetypes through large-scale woven installations. Immersive, sculptural and deeply personal, it’s a meditation on material storytelling, connection and renewal – and the latest Eva and Marc Besen Contemporary Artist Commission to be presented at the Museum.

Along with archetypes such as Lilith, Miriam, Sarah and Ruth, the sculptures pay tribute to the women in the artist’s own life – her mother, daughters, sister, friends and fellow artists – all part of a circle that holds, nurtures and binds. For at its heart, Circle of Her is about honouring the threads that shape us, the women we come from, those beside us and the ones we carry within.

In parallel with this exploration, spend time with the poetry of Angela Baum. Her words open fresh pathways into these layered stories, offering a contemplative counterpoint to the sculptures. Let these woven forms stir your memory, your ancestry and the values that shape you.

‘As I began working, I found myself listening differently, not to the materials, but to something internal and somehow older than me. These pieces are vessels for presence, intuition and transformation’ – Tammy Kanat.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Museum for a celebration of myth, memory and emotion through form and fibre.
